In what is possibly the most cynical move in the history of mankind, apparently Robbie Williams will team up with the Scissor Sisters for a track on his next album.

According to some 'qualoid' Tory rag we didn't read today, his new album due out later this year will be an album of duet.

A 'source' said: "Robbie was so impressed with them that he asked singer Jake Shears what sound he should go for next and now a deal has been struck. They plan to get together as soon as possible in New York."
